Dr. Ryan Sochol
NIH Fellow, Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences & Technology
January 27, 2015 | 12:30 to 01:30 | 540 Cory Hall
Host: Liwei Lin
In President Barack Obama’s 2013 State of the Union Address, he remarked that 3D printing could change “the way we make almost everything.” Similar to the way in which the transition from vacuum tube-based technologies to solid-state components transformed the field of electronics, the shift from standard top-down fabrication methods (e.g., soft lithography) to emerging bottom-up 3D printing processes could revolutionize both chemical and biological fields. In this research seminar, Dr. Ryan D. Sochol will discuss how state-of-the-art micro/nanoscale additive manufacturing techniques – namely two-photon direct-write laser lithography (~100-400 nm resolution) and multi-jet modeling (~16-40 <1μm resolution) – could lead to a paradigm shift in the area of biochemical device design and manufacturing. In particular, Dr. Sochol will present how he and his M3B Lab, BSAC, UC Berkeley, University of Tokyo, Harvard, MIT, and Wellesley students, colleagues, and collaborators are developing:
(1) A New Generation of Integrated Microfluidic Circuitry via 3D Printing
(2) 3D Printed Mechano/Physicobiological Cellular Platforms
(3) 3D Printing-Enabled Biomimetic “Kidney-on-a-Chip” Living Systems
